Important Info for ALL students and parents – Pep band

01/23/2012 — jeffbayerle

Dear Henry Clay Band Family,  I hope everyone is off to a great start for this abnormal winter! I wanted to touch base with everyone concerning Pep Band. All Students participate in pep band. It is a part of being enrolled in an HC Band/Percussion Class. This is part of their grade and will count as a performance. We only play at the post season District, Regional and State Tournaments. This begins towards the end of February and have been on the Band calander since last June. Unfortunaly, the exact dates and times are not released until the regular season has concluded. With that being the case, we have blocked off the weeks in which the tournaments are held. Students will be assigned to one of three pep bands.  Students and families need to be flexable and students must be present at the time of the assigned game.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR BLUE DEVIL BAND SHIRT AND IT STILL FITS!! If you are need of a shirt please contact Leigh Grossman ASAP. Her email is lag830@insightbb.com The shirts are $10. This needs be taken care of before February 13th.

Please stay up-to-date with everything this semester. Mr. Kite and myself have spent many hours making sure we are scheduled ahead with plenty of time for people to make adjustments. The calander is located at henryclayband.org. You can also keep updated via the Henry Clay Band Facebook page, twitter, and attending monthly booster meetings.

 Sincerely,  Jeff Bayerle    jeffrey.bayerle@fayette.kyschools.us
